  • Detailed description

    The registration office is obliged to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete personal data.
    If you discover that the registration authority is processing incorrect or incomplete personal data about you, you can informally request that this data be corrected or completed.

    The authority will then check whether the data is indeed incorrect or incomplete. If this is the case, the data will be corrected or completed.

  • Requirements

    The prerequisites for a correction are, on the one hand, incorrect or incomplete data and, on the other hand, the undoubted determination of the incorrectness or incompleteness.

    The registration authority must also be aware of the correct data.

  • Documents

    In order to prove that the personal data processed are inaccurate or incomplete, it may be necessary to produce documents showing that the data are correct.

  • Fees

    free of charge

  • Process

    Once you have requested rectification of inaccurate personal data and the authority establishes that the data are indeed inaccurate, the rectification will take place insofar as the authority is aware of the correct data.

    You will be informed of the result of the examination of your request for correction.

    The registration authority will also inform those public bodies to which the incorrect or incomplete data has been transmitted in the course of regular data transmissions in accordance with the Federal Registration Act.

  • Duration

    Low.

    In simple cases, rectification is carried out without delay; however, it may take time to verify whether the personal data are indeed inaccurate and to identify the correct data.
